Non-invasive Versus Invasive Blood Pressure Measurement in the Morbidly Obese Parturient With Severe Preeclampsia

Blood Pressure Clinical Trial

Official title:
Non-invasive Versus Invasive Blood Pressure Measurement in the Morbidly Obese Parturient (BMI >= 40 kg/m2) With Severe Preeclampsia: A Comparison of Direct Arterial Blood Pressure Measurements With Readings Obtained Using Either Large Cylindrical or Novel Conical Bariatric Upper Arm Blood Pressure Cuffs

Status Terminated

Clinical Trial Summary

The study will compare agreement of invasive blood pressure measurements with non-invasive blood pressure measurements measured with a conical blood pressure and large standard upper arm rectangular cuff in morbidly obese severely hypertensive (systolic blood pressure > 160 mmHg) parturients.

Clinical Trial Description

A morbidly obese [Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥ 40 kg/m2] pregnant woman is at singular risk for all the complications of pregnancy, most notably preeclampsia (PE). Furthermore a woman who is already chronically hypertensive is likely to develop superimposed PE . Uncontrolled systolic hypertension in pregnancy prompts placental abruption, hemorrhagic stroke, and systolic or diastolic heart failure. Accurate blood pressure measurement is therefore a prerequisite to controlling dangerously high systolic blood pressure (SBP) to enable labor and delivery to be conducted safely in association with PE. Precise SBP measurement is also a precondition for clinically testing hypotheses concerning the existence of druggable targets that will allow prolongation of pregnancy in the face of severe PE and /or intra-uterine growth restriction (IUGR) remote from term.

Oscillometric noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP) measurement is the customary standard blood pressure monitoring method most often used in the labor suite and obstetric operating room today. For this purpose a rectangular, cylindrical blood pressure (BP) cuff placed on the upper arm is connected to an oscillometric blood pressure device. Yet inaccuracies related to the fact that oscillometric NIBP devices under-read high SBP relative to IBP measurements have been recognized as a potential source of maternal morbidity for years.

The study will compare IBP readings obtained from morbidly obese, severely hypertensive (SBP > 160 mm Hg) parturients with NIBP consecutively measured with new innovative conical Ultracheck Curve BP cuffs and large standard upper arm rectangular cylindrical BP cuffs. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
